    Power pole blade cracks

    So, I am looking at my 8' power pole blades and both are cracked about 2-3' long. Anyone else seen this before? DSC00018 (2).JPG

    I have seen this from time to time and power pole will cover it. I am not sure if it is a curing issue or maybe a miss mixed batch of the plastic that is houses the everflex spike itself. Power Pole does not manufacture or mold the everflex spike. The spike carries a lifetime warranty. If you contact them on Monday when they reopen let them know and they will ship you 2 new spikes. You can swap the spikes out in 5 mins.

    PP replaced one of mine without any hesitation. They also quickly replaced a failed pump assembly the year before. Best customer experience I have had from a company.

    Appreciate the responses. Poles are two years old so hopefully they will take care of it. If not I will replace them anyway. I would prefer they to though.

    If it is just the spikes they will replace both of them no questions asked.. My poles accidentally deployed while driving down the road grinding down my spikes and they still replaced them even though it was 100% my fault..

    Their customer service is out of this world good

    I sent them an email. They responded and asked for pics and serial numbers. I sent pics of both cracks and serial numbers and they are sending out replacements. FWIW, I'm not the original purchaser but they handled it anyway. Great company, great customer service.

    spikes are lifetime warranty , keep that in mind if any future issues or you just simply wear a set down.
